Stuarty C Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 Why did u swop the 300 for the 270? dodgy finance, we were payin more than it was worth, i think think she was about 4 year old and had about 280hrs + second gear was to high when buckraking what have you got now instead of the tm300, they are a good machine one lifted well more dragged our merlo out of a ditch one day yes great pulling not bad pushing, we used ares to bulldoze a bit of a dump down are back hill could work on the clamp thoo, back to a tm270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 That's a pretty fair sized feeder wagon you're using Stuart, for how many cows do you feed and how many fills of the wagon each morning? And how do the numbers work on the JCB pivots, have you traded a bigger machine in for a smaller one or is it just numbering confusion as with every other manufacturer?!

Stuarty C Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 they were busy last summer, when they were both on dump trailers, build a new shed which replaced a few small, useless sheds. Contractors js 120 think its a Chinese fake \ TM190/Blake was the pilot of this for a few days, shes never been the same since :D So i got the old herbest 12 on the 115, no sprung drawbar :'( It was drew out over this hill, as you can see the gate way got a bit soft near the end of the year \ Shed builders telescopic, Harold Bothwell as you can see behind we had to dig out quite a bit of clay to get level, was 6 ft at the end This is it when it was almost finished 120x50 Seem to have lost alot of good photos sorry :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
